Cool car, 1 of 600 made that year but I've never seen another. It was made by Choo Choo Customs. Literally just stickers and a stick on hood scoop lol. Some cars were even V6's!

It is a stick on by Choo Choo customs, AFAIK 2nd gens were the last generation to have a real shaker from GM

Interesting brushed silver trim overlay on the dash and console, silver centers on the gold PW7s, and chrome caps.

Those aren't factory PW7 wheels... they're 15-inch aftermarket wheels.

I think the wheels might have been part of the Choo Choo conversion, they seem familiar with the car...

Good luck getting $7500 for it... but you never know... it does look pretty good and nice thirdgens are going up in value.

Even if there were later sequels trying to milk a bit more coin out of the story that may have used later model cars , the one and only Bandit to me is the second gen car in the original movie . Hey , ain't it enough that our car had the 'Hoff and Knight Rider ? (I'm kidding here , I almost just barfed a bit , having lived through that schlock) ... But really , many cars never get the opportunity to look as good as our car did in KR , so goofy plots aside I think both gens got an immense image boost by starring in these roles . Bottom line to me is that a third gen is no more Bandit than a second gen is KITT .........
1977, with Hurst T-Top. And I agree, the one and only Smokey and The Bandit!There never was a Bandit edition shaker hooded bird right?-ncm_0111-2-.jpg

2 more

Obviously the Bandit II changed and it might depend on the year

8?-90 CCC added the ground effects, stickers, shaker, and dash treatment, Floor Mats
91-92 CCC added the stickers, shaker, and dash treatment, Floor Mats
